  2. INTRODUCTIONCROP PROTECTION PRODUCTS ( CPP ) • CPP KNOWN AS PESTICIDES DEFINITION: THOSE PRODUCTS USED TO KILL, SUPRESS OR REJECT THE PLAGUES THAT ATTACK OR DECREASE THE AGRICULTURE, DOMESTICATED ANIMALS AND FORESTRY, AS WELL THOUSE PLAGUES THAT COULD DAMAGE THE MEN PROPERTIES AND TRANSPORTATION ( 1 )

  4. INTRODUCTIONCPP CLASSIFICATION • ACCORDING TO CHEMISTRY ( 1 ) • ORGANICS ( WITH C ) • INORGANICS ( CU, S, ZN, AL ETC ) • BIOLOGIC ( DERIVATES FROM VIRUS AND OR BACTERIES )

  5. INTRODUCTIONCPP IN TO THE INTEGRATED PEST MANAGMENT ( IPM ) • IPM COMPONENTS ( 1 ): • CULTURE ( FERTILIZERS, IRRIGATION, GENETIC SEED RESISTENCE. ) • MECANICS ( BARRIERS, TRAPS ) • FISICAL ( TEMPERATURE CONTROL, SUPERSONIC ) • BIOLOGIC ( PREDATORS ) • CHEMICAL ( PESTICIDES, FEROMONES ) • GENETIC ( STERILIZATION ) • LEGAL ( CUARENTENES )

  11. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE ( 4 )

  12. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS REGULATORY • CPP REGULATION IS COMPLEX AND EXPENSIVE, TODAY THE NUMBER OF STUDIES TO COMPLETE A REGISTRATION IN USA IS AROUND 120 ( 6 ). • IN THE WORLD IN 1989 WERE REGISTERED AROUND 850 A.I. ( 7 ) AND IN 1998 WERE 1000 A.I. ( 8 ) • IN USA WERE REGISTERED IN 1998 AROUND 850 A.I. AND IN MEXICO ABOUT 350 A.I. ( 8 ) • THE CURENTLY COST TO DEVELOP A CPP IS $ 150 MILL. USD AND IN THE 60’S WERE $ 10 MILL USD ( 6 ). • DUE TO THE HIGH COST TO DEVELOP A CPP THE NUMBER OF NEW REGISTRATIONS ARE DECRESING DRAMATICALLY, FOR EXAMPLE IN MEXICO IN 1997 WERE REGISTERED THE DOUBLE OF NEW PRODUCTS THAN IN 2000 ( 9 ).

  13. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS REGULATORY • EPA-USA HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF REGULATION IN THE WORLD FOR CPP. IN USA ARE DEVELOPED ALL THE TOXICOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES. SINCE 1996 THE FQPA PROVIDE MORE SEGURITY TO THE USERS AND THE MORE POTENCIAL DANGEROUS CPP ARE AGAIN UNDER REVISION AND MANY OF THEM SUFFERED MORE RESTRICTION OF USES ( 10 ). • PMRA-CANADA IS WORKING VERY CLOSE WITH EPA EVEN BEFORE THE NAFTA AGREEMENT TO LOOKING FOR THE HARMONIZATION AND NOW BOTH COUNTRIES STARTED THE SAME WITH THE ECC UNDER THE OECD STANDARS ( 11 ).

  14. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS REGULATORY • CICOPLAFEST - MEXICO IS THE MULTIMINISTERIAL AGENCY THAT IS IN CHARGE FOR THE CPP REGISTRATION. • SINCE THE NAFTA, CICOPLAFEST IS WORKING CLOSER TO USA-CANADA THAN THE SOUTH BUT IT NEEDS A LOT OF RESOURSES, TRAINING AND HIGH SUPPORT TO BE COMPARABLE. • MEXICO DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO GENERATE ALL THE TOXICOLOGICAL , ENVIRONMENTAL AND LABORAL STUDIES AND MUST TO ACCEPT THOSE GENERATED IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES ( 12 ).

  15. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • MULTINATIONAL SUPPLIERS: THE TOP 9 CO’S HAVE MORE OF THE 85 % OF THE MARKET IN 1999 ( 5 ) WITH SALES FORCE THAT SALE TO THE DEALERS OR TO THE LOCAL SUPPLIERS. • DUE TO THE HIGH COST TO DEVELOP THE CPP PLUS THE REGULATION DEFENSE AND LOOKING MORE RENTABILITY ALSO TRYING TO OFFER A COMPLETE CPP PORTAFOLIO, DURING THE LAST 5 YEARS THEY HAVE HAD BIG MERGERS OR ADQUISITIONS. • THE OTHER STRATEGY IS TO COVER THE NEEDS OF THE GROWER SINCE THE ADQUISITION OF THE SEED PLUS THE PESTICIDE PACKAGE.

  16. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • THE LINK BETWEEN THE SEED AND THE CPP IS NOW THE MAIN REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY THAT ARE CHANGING THE MARKET, AND TODAY WE HAVE ABOUT 28 MILL HAS IN THE WORLD PLANTED WITH TRANSGENETIC CROPS AS FOLLOWING ( 5 ): • SOYBEANS 21.6 MILL HAS • CANOLA 3.5 • COTTON 1.6 • CORN 1.5

  17. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE

  18. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • LOCAL SUPPLIERS: WITH SINTESIS AND OR FORMULATION FACILITIES WITH OR WITHAOUT SALES FORCE. • IN USA ARE 6 DOMINANTING CO’S: UAP, HELENA,GRIFFING, WILBUR ELLIS, TERRA AND GOWAN WITH HIGH INVOICING LEBEL ( ONLY UAP IS $ 2 BILL.USD) ALSO THIS CO’S BECOME TO BE MULTINATIONAL. THEY COULD SALE DIRECTLY TO THE GROWERS OR TO THE DEALERS • IN MEXICO ARE ABOUT 25 CO’S WITH INVOICING LEBEL FROM 5 TO $ 15 MILL.USD ONLY FEW HAVE SINTESIS FACILITIES, SO THEY ARE MAINLY FORMULATORS. THEY SALE TO THE DEALERS ( 16 ) .

  19. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • LOCAL DEALERS:NO FORMULATION FACILITIES AND IN SOME CASES THEY HAVE MORE THAN ONE STORE. • THERE ARE BIG DIFERENCES IN THE SIZE OF THE LAND BETWEEN MEXICO AND USA / CANADA, BECAUSE IN MÉXICO THE SIZE FOR MORE THAN 60% OF THE GROWERS ARE LESS THAN 4 HAS (19 ), BUT IN USA AND CANADA THE AVERAGE SIZE IS 74 AND 116 HAS / GROWER ( 4 ) • IN USA AND CANADA THEY SALE DIRECTLY TO THE GROWERS. THE USE TO NEED A MARGIN AROUND 10% AND THEY USE TO GIVE LESS THAN 30 CREDIT DAYS.

  20. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • IN MEXICO DUE TO THE BIG MICRONIZATION OF THE LAND IT NEEDS A LOT OF DISTRIBUTORS TO COVER ALL THE GROWERS. • MEXICO HAVE ABOUT 500 DISTRIBUTORS CO’S AND THEY SALE MAINLY TO THE BIG GROWERS AND TO COVER THE LITLLE GROWERS EXIST A BIG NUMBER OF SUB-DEALERS ( AROUND 3000 CO’S ). THEY NEED TO HAVE A MARGIN UP TO 20% AND THE USE TO GIVE MORE THAN 90 CREDIT DAYS.

  21. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS TRANSPORTATION • SINCE THE NAFTA MEXICO STARTING A GREAT EFFORT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RULES ACCORDING WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CPP TRANSPORTATION. • TODAY MEXICO HAVE ABOUT 15 SPECIALIZED CO’S IN CPP TRANSPORTATION WITH AROUND 120 TRUCKS THAT ARE NOT STILL ENOUGH TO COVER THE 60,OOO TONS / YEAR OF CPP SOLD IN THE COUNTRY (13 ), ( 14 ).

  22. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS STORAGE • MEXICO HAVE A LOTOF ROOM TO IMPROVE THIS ITEM THAT WILL REQUIRE A VERY BIG INVESTMENT. • THE CURRENTLY REGULATION IS TOO OLD AND THE NUEW ONE ACCORDING WITH THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARS IS GOING TO START VERY SOON, PROBABLY THIS YEAR. • LESS THAN 10 % OF ALL THE STORES DO NOT HAVE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. • FOR SURE THIS MATTER WILL BE THE MAIN FACTOR TO SELECT THE ENORMEUS CUANTITIES OF DISTRIBUTORS IN THE COUNTRY.

  23. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS IMPORTATION DUTIES ( ID ) • DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS MEXICO OPEN THE BORDERS WITH THE SIGNATURE OF GLOBAL AGREEMENTS AS OECD AND WTO AS WELL BEING PART OF THE ECONOMIC AREA NAFTA ALSO SIGNED FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH SOME COUNTRIES AS THE ECC, NICARAGUA, COSTA RICA, CHILE AND BOLIVIA AND SIGNED SPECIFIC REDUCTION OF ID’S WITH COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA. • MEXICO HAVE 113 ID’S TO CLASIFY THE CPP AND SOME INTERMEDIATES AND THE ID THAT STILL REMAIN WITH THE COUNTRIES WITH FREE TRADE ARE TO PROTECT THE LOCAL SINTESIS FOR ABOUT 10 A.I. ( 15 )

  24. TRADE COMPETITIVENESS ITEMS IMPORTATION DUTIES ( ID ) • THE CURRENTLY ID SYSTEM IN MEXICO FOR THE REST OF COUNTRIES WERE MEXICO DO NOT HAVE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT ARE FOR THE TECHNICAL CPP AND NOT FOR THE FORMULATED PRODUCTS, SO IT IS NEEDED ASAP A CHANGE IN THIS SYSTEM IN ORDER TO THE LOCAL FORMULATORS COULD SURVIVE ( 16 ).

  25. OPTION FOR DEALING THE PROBLEMS REGULATORY • MEXICO IS FAR AWAY TO HAVE A REGULATORY SISTEM AND STRUCTURE AS USA OR CANADA. • UNTIL MEXICO CAN HAVE SIMILAR REGULATORY SISTEM TO THE OTHER NAFTA COUNTRIES WILL BE IMPOSIBLE THE FREE TRADE WITH A COMMON LABEL ( 18 ). • MEXICO NEDDS TO DEFINE ASAP A LOCAL SYSTEM TO THE PROTECTION OF THE INTELECTUAL RIGHTS ( PIR ) IN TO THE CPP PROCEEDS OF REGISTRATION ( 17 ). • WILL BE VERY DIFICULT THAT MEXICO COULD DEVELOP IN SHORT TIME A COMPENSATION SYSTEM TO ( PIR ) AS USA ( 17 ).

  26. OPTION FOR DEALING THE PROBLEMS DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE • DUE TO THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ECONOMY OF MEXICO AND USA / CANADA IN TERMS OF THE MARGIN, COST OF THE MONEY AND THE CREDIT DAYS THAT ARE NEEDED IN EACH COUNTRY, THE FREE TRADE WILL BE IMPOSIBLE UNTIL THESE FACTORS COULD BE SIMILARS. • MEXICO WILL SUFFER IN A SHORT TIME A BIG SELECTION OF LOCAL SUPPLIERS, DEALERS AND SUB-DEALERS DUE TO THE IMPACT OF NEW REGULATORY STANDARS SIMILAR TO USA / CANADA THAT WILL IN FORM IN A SHORT TIME.

  27. OPTION FOR DEALING THE PROBLEMS TRANSPORTATION • MEXICO IS READY TO START A FREE TRADE WITH USA AND CANADA IN THIS PARTICULAR MATTER. • EVEN MEXICO DO NOT HAVE YET ENOUGH CUANTITIES OF SPECIALIZED CPP TRANSPORTATION CO’S, THEY ARE ALREADY UNDER INTERNATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS.

  28. OPTION FOR DEALING THE PROBLEMS STORAGE • MEXICO DO NOT HAVE INTERNATIONAL STANDARS IN ALMOST ALL THE DISTRIBUTORS CO’S. • THIS MATTER IS A BIG ISSUE TO MEXICO DUE THE HIGH COST REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS • ALSO WILL BE THE MAIN FACTOR TO SELECT THE NUMBER OF DISTRIBUTORS THAT COULD MAKE IT WITH THE NEW REGULATION FOR THE STORAGE OF CPP THAT IS GOING TO BE IN FORM VERY SOON.

  29. OPTION FOR DEALING THE PROBLEMS IMPORTATION DUTIES ( ID ) • MEXICO OPEN THE BORDERS TO FREE TRADE IN A VERY SHORT TIME. • THE REMAINIG ID’S ARE TO PROTECT THE LOCAL SINTESIS OR PRODUCTION FOR SOME A.I OR INTERMEDIATES. • THE AUTHORITIES NEEDS TO CHANGE THE CURRENTLY SYSTEM OF ID’S THAT PROTECT THE DUTIES FOR THE TECHNICAL PRODUCTS INSTEAD TO FORMULATED PRODUCTS TO GIVE MORE CHANCES TO THE LOCAL FORMULATORS.

  30. THE FUTURE FOR CP INDUSTRY IN NAFTA WHO WILL GAIN AND LOSE ? • TO OPEN THE BORDERS TO THE FREE TRADE, NAFTA NEEDS TO WAIT UNTIL MEXICO COULD DEVELOP A REGULATORY CP SISTEM COMPATIBLE WITH USA / CANADA. • THE MULTINATIONALS CO’S WILL CONTINUE THE CURRENTLY MERGERS OR ADQUISITIONS TO LOOKING FOR PROFITABILITY DUE TO THE CONTINUE INCREASE OF THE COST FOR DEVELOP AND TO THE REGULATORY DEFENSE FOR THE CPP • MULTINATIONALS ALSO WILL CONTINUE TO LINK THE CPP BUSINESS WITH SEEDS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES THAT COULD OFFER TO THE GROWER A COMPLETE PACKAGE.

  31. THE FUTURE FOR CP INDUSTRY IN NAFTA WHO WILL GAIN AND LOSE ? • FOR THE DISTRIBUTORS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER IT IS IMPOSIBLE TO COMPITE UNDER THE CURRENTLY ECONOMIC DIFERENCES, IN THIS WAY MEXICO SHOULD TO IMPROVE AND HAVE SIMILAR ECONOMIC INDICATORS THAN USA AND CANADA. • THE DISTRIBUTORS OF MEXICO WILL BE UNDER HIGH PRESSION WHEN THEY SHOULD TO FALLOW THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARS FOR STORAGE AND FOR SURE MANY OF THEM WILL DISAPEAR.
